I am afraid it has far greater ramifications for hosts and I am glad I am out. The platform is set up so a host can list multiple properties. Management Companies have also been set up to manage air BnB properties for the owners.
I have a significant annual turnover in my property but I cannot sell my property based on income I receive from Air BnB because the property, once sold can no longer be listed with another owner. You would need to somehow transfer the listing, and all the reviews, etc to the new owner.
Given my experience Air BnB is not even interested in engaging with a host to resolve this issue.
I have just received another response to my cancellation where they stated:
"I would like to say that I empathize with your dissatisfaction. I'm sorry that your listing will be removed on August, 19 2024. I understand that you already submitted all the necessary document needed for this. I know how important it is for you to keep on using this listing.
Furthermore, I see on my end that we give you time to appeal to the case If ‘The Ski Shack - Lake Tinaroo’ is a new listing, and you have additional details that we could consider. We apologize on the news that our specialized team have reviewed your appeal and made the decision to remove the listing completely. As it appears that this listing you have is a duplicate of a listing with reported issues goes against our policies with Airbnb. After investigating we also saw that the listing has an issue with cleanliness as well.
I hope that you understand that if there was anything I can do, I would have done it right away without any hesitation since you are our valued user in the community. I truly wish I had an option to not have your listing be removed. It's just that the policies are there and that is something I am obliged to follow."
